Le matrimonials: My List

All praises and thanks be to Allah SWT. Abundant salutations be upon His and our beloved SAW.

We all know people who are looking to get married, but when I ask some people, “What exactly are you looking for?”, the answer is something like, “a good Muslim” or “someone with deen and good character.” That’s all good and well, but I think that’s way too vague to be describing the person that you’re potentially going to spend the rest of your life with! So I decided to share “my list.”

What I am looking for in a husband:

This description is my ideal/ dream husband and I understand that someone wouldn’t be absolutely everything that I am looking for. But here goes:

▪️Someone who loves Allah SWT, His Messenger SAW and the Qur’an,

▪️who has good character

▪️who preferably comes from a good family

▪️Someone with the same understanding of deen as me

▪️preferably with higher eemaan than me

▪️Someone who is able to articulate his feelings, express himself, and communicate well

▪️Someone who is good-natured, very sweet, romantic, thoughtful, affectionate, caring and kindhearted

▪️Someone who understands me and who handles me well, especially at my worst

▪️Someone who brings joy to my life

▪️who fits in well with my family

▪️who is generally happy and positive

▪️Someone who is well-spoken

▪️emotionally mature

▪️confident

▪️educated in deen and dunya

▪️Someone who is healthy, not overweight

▪️who doesn’t have anger issues

▪️Someone who knows how to cook and clean would be nice, even though I can cook.

▪️Someone willing to help out at home would be nice too

▪️Someone responsible

▪️financially stable; able to provide and who is good with money

▪️Finally, someone who wants to marry me for who I am and who values and appreciates me and what I do, and who encourages and supports me in everything that I do and ultimately helps me along the journey to Jannah.

If you’re one of those people looking to get married, I hope that this list helps you to define or refine what you’re looking for in a potential partner. Or maybe you can share it with someone you know who is looking.

With best of du’as for your worldy and Hereafter success,
